 Zebra mussels have been found in three more area lakes. The Minnesota DNR today confirmed reports of zebra mussels in Big Pine Lake in Aiken County, Sock Lake near Sock Center in Todd County, and Blandin Reservoir on the Mississippi River in Itasca County. Several lakes connected to the reservoir by a Mississippi River tributary are also being added to the infested waters list. Because of the connection Lake Pockegama, Jay Gould Lake, Little Jay Gould Lake, and the Mississippi River from Little from Lake Winnebogoshish to Mississippi Lake will also be added to the infested waters list. Now, no zebra mussels were found in recent surveys of Lake Pockegama and Jay Gould Lake, but they will be added because they are closely connected to waters with confirmed zebra mussel populations.
